Every time I fly First, the best part of it is that the attendants are non-intrusive. If I were to go and convert that into an interrupt-driven experience I think it would be a massive downgrade.

"Yes, I'd like to be woken for meals alone, please". Lie down, effectively teleport a few thousand miles away, wake up to eat, teleport the rest of the way. One time, I was so tired I just went to sleep in London and woke up in San Francisco. Captain Kirk had nothing on me. The plane was a teleportation chamber.

Now I'm sure the thing that many people like is talking to flight attendants, but personally when people wait on me I prefer it completely in the background with a minimum of questions and interruptions.
